Easter, this
is an anglicized version of the word/name Ishtar who is the renamed Babylonian
queen-goddess Semiramis. Semiramis (Ishtar) married her son Nimrod (who was
worshiped as a god-king) who (allegedly) was a great grandson of Noah. Nimrod
was killed by one of his enemies and was dismembered, his body parts were
distributed all over Babylon. His mother/wife Semiramis collected all of them
except his penis, she said that because the the corpus of Nimrod was incomplete
he could not be revived (?) and that he had ascended to heaven and become the
sun and was to be worshiped by the name Baal. Baal would be present at any
worship in the form of flame. Semiramis was the name of the Queen, after the
death of her son/husband Nimrod, she posited herself as an immaculately
conceived goddess: Ishtar. She was born of the Moon Goddess (the moon) an came
to earth in a "moon egg" an landed in the Euphrates river. Ishtar
became pregnant, she claimed that she was impregnated by the rays of Baal (her
son/the sun) and "immaculately conceived" the new god king of
Babylon: Tammuz. Tammuz loved rabbits and incorporate his veneration for them
into the religion he was a major figurehead in. One day, while hunting, Tammuz
was killed by a wild boar. Ishtar told the apparently incredibly gullible
Babylonians that Tammuz had ascended to heaved with his father Nimrod/Baal and
both of them would be present at worship in the flame as father, son and
spirit. Ishtar told the people that when Tammuz had been killed by the boar
that some of his blood had been spilled onto the stump of a felled evergreen
and a new tree sprung from the stump overnight. Ishtar then dedicated a time of
mourning every year for the fallen Tammuz in which no meat was to be eaten
(advent) and his death and rebirth into heaven would be marked with an
evergreen tree (christmas). There was also a time of celebration to be observed
on the first full moon after the spring equinox (Ishtar's immaculate moon egg
conception day), for four days the worshipers would hand sign a t over their
hearts and eat special cakes crossed with a t. On the Sun-day a pig was to be
eaten to pay respect to their fallen god king. The Phonecain cult of Moloch
(Tammuz, post Babylon) required the sacrifice of children. We still engage in
that sacrifice today: war. We mark our sacrifice with Ishtar's star and send
them out to die for our entertainment, oops, I mean to appease the gods. The
lineage of this belief system stretches back to at least 4800 BC in Egypt.
Archeo-anthropological studies of the history of human warfare show that war is
a reletively recent phenomena beginning about 6500 years ago (!). Anyone
putting together that war is in fact human sacrifice? And human sacrifice is a
product of severely demented religious ideals? Ever notice how many high
ranking politicians and priests go out to war? Yeah. Happy Ishtar everyone.
